(Sacramento, CA) — Despite some snow melting, the Sierra snowpack is still at more than double the average for this time of year. That’s what the California Department of Water Resources reports after conducting its fifth snow survey of the season on Monday. Measurements taken at the Phillips Station snow course show a snow depth of 59 inches. That’s 241-percent of the average for May 1st.

The snow that was measured also contains 30 inches of water.

At the DWR’s 130 automated snow sensors statewide, the average snow-water content is more than 49 inches. That’s 254-percent of the average for May 1st. Statewide, an average of about a foot of water melted away from the snowpack in April, which is a slower melting rate than in a typical year.
